AHP Canada Council

The Canada Council ensures that AHP's Canadian members are engaged and informed of AHP-related activities. Canada Council members welcome new members, invite members to AHP events, and host provincial gatherings led by provincial representatives. The Council meets annually at the Convene Canada conference and virtually throughout the year to ensure that provincial issues are discussed as appropriate.
